One Of The Scariest Games Ever Made Is About To Get A Sequel... On The Wii U

The Fatal Frame series is pretty well known for scaring the ever-loving bejeebus out of anyone who dares play it, particularly Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly. Now a fresh sequel is being planned, surprisingly for the Wii U, and I totally approve.

Tecmo Koei and Nintendo are reportedly working together on the project.

It makes sense. Easily the most interesting mechanic in Fatal Frame was using the camera to find and fight ghosts. I'm going to take a wild guess here and say that the Wii U controller is going to be used in much the same way as it was in ZombiU, as something that scans the screen for ghosts -- essentially playing the role of the 'camera'. It seems like a match made in heaven. I'm going to tempt fate here and say that it's almost impossible to screw up!

coz then you could overlay ghosts onto your actual, real life, surroundings, not just the tv screen... it'd be rad if you had to hunt & fight ghosts in your loungeroom. or depending on the range of the tablet, all around your house.

Oh man that would suck even worse. I can just imagine glancing down at the Gamepad after playing for a while only to see something fly past my shoulder.....I don't think the gamepad would survive the subsequent toss at the wall.

There was the one on the 3DS. It was actually a problem because it used AR and a book. You needed a light room to use the book properly and a dark room to fight the ghosts.
It sounds like an awesome idea but it is hard to implement. I think the only successful version was the mobile game that was released in japan. You could fight ghosts in your surroundings and discover non-threatening ghost too.

Not the smartest of ideas. I own it and can't use the fan translation on my red wii. If you have anything other then a white wii, you're out of luck. And if your white wii was sold when black ones were out, it won't work.
